Recent years have witnessed large-scale mobilizations of farmers across Europe, driven by dissatisfaction with excessive EU bureaucratization, trade agreements, and insufficient subsidies. Farmer’s mobilizations have been often supported by radical-right parties and politicians, who see common ground with their electoral platforms and aspire to increase their share of votes. However, is there a widespread connection between agricultural employment and voting that goes beyond the specific support expressed by radical-right forces in moments of intense public mobilization? Situated within the broader framework of occupational influences on voting, this study examines how working in agriculture affects support for parties along the GAL/TAN and economic dimensions of competition. Our methodological strategy combines five waves of the European Social Survey (ESS) (including 26 countries from 2012 to 2020) to obtain data on occupation and voting preferences, and data from the Chapel Hill Expert Survey (CHES) to extract the positioning of parties along the main ideological dimensions of competition. Our findings reveal a robust and significant association between agricultural employment and support for parties with more traditionalist, authoritarian, and nationalist tendencies. This association varies considerably across countries and regions, reflecting contextual nuances in the activation and expression of farmer’s demands in the electoral arena. These results contribute to understand when and how working in agriculture associates with voting, which is also connected with broader debates on the link between occupation and electoral choices in contemporary societies.
